Officially, the group is called the
Uber Squad of the People's Army of Nepal. Foreign reporters have abbreviated
this to the People's Uber Squad, and the name has stuck.

How it is that a modestly powerful
Maoist insurgency in a very small country wedged between India and China
gained so many powerful Ubers is a mystery. Though numbering only in the
tens of thousands the People's Revolution of Nepal has four powerful
super-humans working for it. It must be recognized that three of them are
ex-patriots from other countries.

It begins with the Voice of the
People, who just wandered into a rebel camp one day, and the rebels made the
decision to welcome the odd creature with open arms. The Voice has been
active in the Nepal for years, but has only recently come to the attention
of the wider world.

The Voice is an avatar of Communist
ideals and philosophy, but it may seek concession with the government as the
people around it tire of Nepal's civil war.

The Voice was joined by Mahesh Pradal
some years ago, who leads the group in combat while the Voice oversees the
group's work the rest of the time. He's a Gurkha who's powers were a result
of an experiment by the government and as yet unknown allies. Like the
Voice, he's not in a mood to forgive the Nepalese monarchy anything, and is
deeply sympathetic towards the Communists. Technically he's not a Communist
himself.

Red Mountain and Metal Girl are very
recent additions, and this has been both good and bad for the Communists,
because it has brought the group attention from the wider world. Red
Mountain is very much a Maoist, and Metal Girl embraces the feminism of the
revolution while not being quite so enamored of the rebel's more radical
beliefs.

Area of Operations

The
People's Uber Squad operate exclusively in the countryside of Nepal where
the Communist insurgency is strongest, with occasional forays into the
cities. They might be goaded into pursuing an enemy past Nepal's borders,
but the group would require a great provocation to do so.

Goals

Each of the members seeks to protect the people of Nepal
and protect the Maoist rebels. This would almost be a laudable goal except
that they consider themselves soldiers, and have no problem killing as a
soldier would. In any game involving this group it's important to emphasize
the fact that they are guerrillas in an active civil war. Any student of
history would also know that Mao's revolution had devastating consequences
for China, and the success of Maoists in Nepal would probably be no
prettier.

Reputation

Among American, Chinese, and Indian
intelligence services the People's Uber Squad is regarded with caution.
They're unwilling to break Nepal's sovereignty (yet) but are deeply
concerned by a group of powerful and mediagenic ubers promoting traditional
old school Communism. The Nepalese monarchy and other conservatives within
Nepal would like to see the People's Uber Guard dead, but are unwilling to
take any assistance from China or India to deal with the problem.

Communists all over the world who know
of the People's Uber Squad (and not a few of the more soft headed Communists
in the West) see the People's Uber Squad as heroic revolutionaries.
